Bee Pollen
MULTIFLORAL BEE POLLEN
$7 - Bee Pollen (0.35oz vial)
Harvested from the hive Spring 2025. I purchased one pollen trap with the knowledge that one of my hives seems to love to hoard pollen, so I knew they'd be able to provide me with a small supply to offer for sale! Please note: there are less than 10 vials available for purchase!
Please watch the video or read the highlights below to learn more about bee pollen, including important health precautions and if bee pollen is right for you!

According to the video, bee pollen is not good for the following individuals:
In rare cases, bee pollen can cause mild to severe allergic reactions, which may include anything from hives to anaphylaxis. This often depends on the source of pollen or specific plant species. For those especially sensitive or asthmatic, consumption of bee pollen is not recommended. Bee pollen is an energetically heating food and in ayurveda, bee pollen consumption is not recommended for those with hot constitutions. Even low to high doses may cause loose stools and/or gastrointestinal irritation.
Please note:
Our bee pollen is collected in Denver, Colorado at the location of the beekeeper's residence in SW Denver. It is not certified organic and the honey bees collect pollen within a 2-3 mile radius of the hive, which spans from US highway 6 (North), University Blvd (East), Wadsworth Blvd (West) and US Highway 285 beyond Oxford (South). Bee pollen is known to absorb contaminants in the air quite easily. This pollen was collected on 4-7-2025 over a 24hr time span from 3 o'clock PM - 3 o'clock PM the following day.
